Field notes
The described workflow starts from a Discogs release or a public wantlist, with up to 50 records available for batch ranking. Its comparison criteria include value, pedigree, and cheapest first; the homepage also says public-domain reissues are excluded from its suggestions. The listed example reports cover five familiar albums, though the extracted page does not provide a complete report to inspect.
